Well I had my first failure after 8 months or so with the norton bear tape a couple of weeks back in a race . The rear started deflating halfway around each lap . Not too bad was able to pump up and keep going each lap . The front failed on Saturday nights race and was too bad that I had to pull out . I`m kicking myself for not doing the front when the rear went .
When I initially set them up I did the once only wrap around as per my other wheels with stans tape ( which are still perfect ) . It turns out that the tape had worn through at the nipple holes , not all the way around , just on a few .
So I guess for longevity with this tape it would be best to double or even triple wrap your rim , or just suck it up and get the right stuff .
